Sooooooooo Slow

Cmar-Ireland

I am finding boards to be very slow anytime after 10 in the morning until very late at night. Obviously this is the busy time with plenty of traffic, but sometimes it's taking 20 - 30 sec to open a page!!!

Granted I'm usually on later in the evening when it flies along, so any slowdown at all is pretty noticeable.

If you are using firefox then download the fasterfox extension-this page was generated in 4.877s

And from the bottom of the page

I'd be careful about using the pre-fetching feature fasterfox has on vbulletin sites such as this.

The "log out" mechanism just needs a link (insert rant about the basic REST architecture of the web being ignored) and this design flaw in vbulletin means that a prefetcher could keep logging you out.

For that matter prefetching doesn't gain you much here, since most of the pages are quickly changing and so not reasonable to cache for long and there are lots of links on each page so it's hard for the prefetcher to hit on the ones you're actually going to follow.
